I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

Zhao Long looked at Zhang Han with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Has the news been confirmed?"

Zhang Han solemnly said, "Your Majesty, it was learned from some Xiongnu people when the Marquis of Tongwu sent people north to Fushi to investigate the Xiongnu."

“In the north of Fushi, there is still a Qin army of several hundred men who have been fighting the Xiongnu for more than a year and still survive.”

He also found it somewhat unbelievable.

It should be noted that when Wang Li went south to suppress the rebellion, he took with him the Great Wall Legion, the last elite soldiers of the Qin army.

After Wang Li's death in battle and the annihilation of 100,000 elite troops, the Great Wall Legion not only lacked national support for reconstruction but also faced punishment from the Second Emperor.

Wang, the commander of the Great Wall Army, was already struggling to resist the Xiongnu.

Ultimately, Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, and the Wang family was forced to relinquish all their status and rights in Qin, deciding to separate and leave Guanzhong.

The Northern Great Wall Army, now without its commander, was reduced to a small group of scattered soldiers who also left.

Only then were the Xiongnu able to advance all the way to Fushi and conquer the entire Hetao grassland.

Yet these scattered soldiers still have a force that has been fighting to this day!

Zhao Long asked in a deep voice, "What does the General intend to do?"

Zhang Han said decisively, "Save them."

The Qin state will not let down any soldier who fights for his country.

The Qin army, currently engaged in a bloody battle with the Xiongnu in the northern grasslands, has not ceased its fighting to this day, for whatever reason.

They were heroic warriors of the Qin state.

Now that he had received their information, Zhang Han would not stand idly by and do nothing about these heroes.

That's why he came to find Zhao Long.

Zhao Long immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Then let's summon all the generals for a meeting!"

"promise!"

……

The Hetao Grassland is fertile. During the reign of the First Emperor, after the Qin army marched north to attack and suppress the foreign tribes, they relocated 30,000 households from all over the country to the area, intending to make Hetao a permanent part of the Qin Dynasty.

These areas include the northern parts of Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Shang County, and Beidi County.

When Wang Jian finally decided to abandon Guanzhong and have his descendants leave the Qin army, he also tried his best to relocate the northern people to the south, and disbanded the northern army when they left.

Wang Ben is currently trying to win back some veteran soldiers, stabilize northern Guanzhong, and wait for an opportunity to go to war with the Xiongnu.

At least we must first reclaim the land south of the Qin Great Wall in the Hetao Grassland.

Now that he has learned that there is a Qin army soldier still fighting for the country in the already occupied area, Zhao Long will not stand by and watch them die.

Under the cover of night, the Qin army's civil and military officials, who had rushed over, had already received news from the north as they gathered together.

Wang Jian's expression was extremely solemn; the joy brought by the reconstruction of Qin was no longer visible on his face.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I abandoned the Yinshan Great Wall, which led to the southward advance of the Hu horses!"

Wang Jian immediately stepped forward to apologize.

Zhao Long shook his head: "This is not the old general's fault."

When Wang Li died in battle, Wang Jian probably collapsed. As the heir carefully cultivated by the Wang family, he died in Julu inexplicably because of the idiot Er Shi.

At that time, Wang Jian was under tremendous pressure from the Second Emperor, and he had already done the best he could in the north.

He has done enough.

Using the last few thousand soldiers remaining in the north, most of the people were relocated to the area south of Fushi, which was also the earliest part of the Qin Great Wall.

Furthermore, the remaining Qin troops were disbanded, rather than being taken away as the Wang family's private army.

The Wang clan generals served diligently in their positions until the very last moment!

After settling matters in the north, he then headed south.

By then, Liu Bang had already marched into Guanzhong, and the Qin Dynasty had been destroyed.

Between family and country, the Wang family had to make a choice; they had already done enough for the Qin state.

Zhao Long did not blame Wang for ultimately choosing her family; indeed, the second generation was inhuman and had chilled people's hearts.

Seeing that Wang Jian still seemed somewhat guilty, Zhao Long waved his hand and said in a very serious tone, "General, there's no need to worry. The reason I've gathered you all here is to discuss how to reclaim all the lost land!"

"Let's welcome back to our homeland those heroes who are still fighting for Qin in the north!"

The crowd's eyes were filled with commands, and they all straightened their chests, awaiting Zhao Long's further instructions.

Everyone knew that a great battle was brewing!

The trembling Wei Liao came over and spoke first: "Qin has recovered and become strong. Other states are hesitant to act rashly and are all waiting for Chu to take the lead in attacking. There will be no major battle in Guanzhong within two or three months!"

"Send a contingent north to attack the Xiongnu, excellent!"

Occupying the Hetao region to resist the Xiongnu was a national policy he helped formulate.

That was Qin's northern defense line.

The Xiongnu are now growing rapidly, and it is time for the Qin army to take the initiative and recapture the defensive line.

Taking advantage of the gap before the Chu army attacked, they first took action against the Xiongnu people in the Fushi area!

Zhao Long didn't want to see the most powerful Hunnic Empire in history!

Zhao Long took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Issue the order: General Zhang Han is to guard Wuguan Pass and defend against the southern warlords."

"General Han Xin was stationed at Hangu Pass, commanding his cavalry to jointly defend the banks of the Yellow River in Guanzhong."

"Lü Matong and Neishi Teng led their troops north with the army."

"The rest of the generals shall each perform their duties."

"In this battle, let us tell those Xiongnu people that the blades of our Great Qin have never been unsharp!"

Zhao Long's voice resounded throughout the hall, echoing under the night sky, and everyone clenched their fists tightly.

"promise!"

"Fight for the Great Qin!"

Lü Matong and Neishi Teng were the most excited. They would serve as the spearhead against the Xiongnu, to let the Xiongnu know that the Qin state was still the extremely powerful Qin.

"I will personally go to oversee this battle."

A chilling aura erupted from Zhao Long's eyes, surprising everyone. However, sensing the killing intent emanating from Zhao Long, no one dared to dissuade him.

Throughout the history of the Qin state, none of its rulers were cowards; personal military campaigns were commonplace.

If the Xiongnu dared to take advantage of the internal strife in Qin to invade and occupy the entire Hetao region, they should be prepared to be driven back by Qin!

Once again, we face the sharp blade of the Qin Dynasty!

Ten thousand soldiers gathered early the next morning.

The iron cavalry were ferocious, and the infantry were burly; these 10,000 elite troops were the most outstanding warriors of the Qin Dynasty.

They were the first soldiers to be equipped with iron weapons from the Craftsmen's Office.

Lu Matong's left cavalry guards were all equipped with iron weapons, and they looked like a group of ferocious beasts waiting for something.

When Zhao Long appeared before them, everyone pounded their chests and roared, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

They were no longer homeless children. After countless long waits, in their most desperate moment, they finally received the Qin King Dragon, which allowed them to rediscover their faith.

Countless orders benefiting the soldiers spread rapidly throughout the army, and everyone knew why they were fighting!

Now, they must follow the King of Qin who is leading the Qin Dynasty to its rebirth, to defend the territory of Qin and safeguard the hard-won peace in Guanzhong!

If you want the Qin Dynasty to descend into the chaos of the Second Emperor's era, then step over their corpses!

By ascending the throne early, Zhao Long's original plan ultimately brought him good fortune.

Uniting the people of Guanzhong into one!

Zhao Long waved his hand and shouted, "Marching into battle!"

The Xiongnu had already moved south and completely breached the Great Wall, which had been built after the reign of the First Emperor.

They attacked the site of the old Great Wall, which the Qin state had defended for centuries.

The thousands of miles of fertile land in Jiuyuan and Shangjun became the Xiongnu people's horse racing ground.

Zhao Long could already foresee the miserable fate of the people who had not been able to leave.

This was the worst news for the newly formed Qin state.

But for Zhao Long, this is also the best opportunity.

The ancestors of the Scourge of God were also in their most turbulent time.

The northern region was the old Great Wall, while the area beyond the Yin Mountains was the new Great Wall; by the early Han Dynasty, the area between these sections had already been occupied by the Xiongnu.
